#160 File details missing when creating an EXE file on Mac OS X with l4j 3.9

If I check file properties of a launch4j executable (right click => properties => details) created on Mac OS X, you can see that many details are missing.

Attached is a screenshot of one of my programs. The file name in the title bar shows which one was created in Mac OS X (Sierra) and which one on Windows 10.

Both were manually created using the latest standalone version 3.9

Yes, I know about it, I tried to help Łukasz but it seems the problem is associated with windres.
Which package are you using launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86-10.8.tgz or launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86.tgz ?

I'm using the package launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86.tgz on macOS 10.12.3 "Sierra"

Please use the package launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86-10.8.tgz as it solves the exact same problem for me on macOS Sierra.

Thanks for the information, Thomas! Unfortunately the launch4j-maven-plugin still uses the "default" package...

In version 3.9 there are two: launch4j-3.9-workdir-mac.jar and launch4j-3.9-workdir-osx.jar. osx is the 10.8 version. Make sure you are using the latest plugin version, you can also ask for support there: https://github.com/lukaszlenart/launch4j-maven-plugin

Good news: The new version 1.7.16 of the launch4j-maven-plugin detects different OSX versions to properly use the proper binary bundle.

I'm sorry, I'm confused now. I would have expected that the download package "launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86-10.8.tgz" is for Mac OS X 10.8 and below and "launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86.tgz" is for newer versions, like Sierra. Not speaking about the maven workdir jars, but the downloads from sourceforge...

@Grzegorz can you enlighten us?

It is the other way around, the package launch4j-3.9-macosx-x86.tgz was available first, and the 10.8 was added later. Since the support for 10.8 has ended it makes no sense to keep the even older package. So I will drop it and leave only one, this will also solve the plugin problem.

Removed old package, leaving only one.
